Michelangelo’s statue of
David is famous around the world. Millions flock to Italy every year to
admire the physical perfection of the young man captured within the
marble. But the identity of the model has never been known . . . until
now. In this epic tale, acclaimed author Mary Hoffman imagines the story
of Gabriele, a naïve but incredibly handsome young man who is hired as
Michelangelo’s model, only to find himself drawn into a world of spies,
political treachery, and murder. Set against the vibrant backdrop of
Florence in its most turbulent times, this is a rich, colorful and
thrilling tale that gives life to one of the world’s greatest
masterpieces.

Oooh, this sounds so awesome! I love that it features art history! Who wouldn't want to know who David really was!? Basically, I can't wait for this one!
